Chris Brown is gearing ready to release an album, which can only mean one thing – a Trey Songz‘s release cannot be too far behind. ‘Chapter V’, the upcoming album from ‘Mr. Steal-Yo-Girl’ will be lead by the yet-to-be-heard first single, ‘Heart Attack’.

‘Attack’ is expected to premiere March 26th via the R&B crooner’s Twitter.

With a new era on its way, Songz’s fans can’t help but wonder what type of artist he’ll present himself as this time around. His shirtless gimmick and over sexualized on-stage antics can only carry him so far. Indeed, many are already beginning to grow tired of his transparent artistry. As do most artists promoting their latest work, Songz touts ‘Chapter V’ to be his greatest undertaking yet.

We’ll see.
